RED BLUFF — The California Transportation Commission announced last week it had allocated nearly $4 million to fund a pair of Tehama County highway projects.

In Tehama County, $2,333,000 was allocated to the county for the rehabilitation of 5.5 miles of Old State Route 99 between Corning and Red Bluff. The project will provide a new surface, shoulders and striping.

A $1.4 million landscaping project also received funds.

The Tehama County Local Transportation Commission will receive the money for landscaping at 10 interchanges along Interstate 5 from the Glenn County line to the Shasta County line.

About $600 million was provided by Proposition 1B, a transportation bond approved by voters in 2006.

The remaining allocations came from assorted state and federal transportation accounts.

In total, about $13.8 billion in Proposition 1B funds have been distributed statewide.
